The development of new drugs to combat global health issues is one of modern society's most important challenges. The Master's Programme in Drug Discovery and Development gives you the tools needed to meet it. You will study medicinal chemistry, drug development in biological systems as well as pharmaceutical formulation and clinical trial design. This programme will provide you with the skills to make an impact on modern healthcare. The Master's Programme in Drug Discovery and Development is a two-year programme that gives you an in-depth knowledge of drug development, from idea to registered product. Drug development is a long and complicated process that requires expertise in several different areas. The programme prepares you to work with drug development in its various phases. It is possible to choose elective courses based on your own interest. The first year consists of compulsory course units and covers topics ranging from hit identification and drug formulation to clinical trial design. During the second year of the programme, you are allowed to choose elective courses and a research project based on your own interest in, for example: biopharmaceuticals drug development in biological systems medicinal chemistry pharmacognosy drug formulation and delivery The programme wi
